Because Nick recently made national headlines when he slammed Democrats for suggesting freedom-loving Americans who supported Second Amendment rights are "Nazis" and "segregationists" with blood on their hands.

Freitas has the entire Democrat lobby coming after him simply because he's standing up for our rights, and he needs our support today if he's going to defeat Tim Kaine.

At a time when liberals are trying to strip away gun rights, we must rally around candidates like Nick Freitas.

Just a few weeks ago, Nick captured the attention of the entire nation when he stood on the floor of the Virginia House of Delegates and passionately defended our right to keep and bear arms. In fact, his rousing speech racked up over 8 million views online in just a matter of days.

Why? Because Nick Freitas unflinchingly called out the Democrats for their ridiculous logic in the gun debate:

"[You're] assuming the only reason we believe in the Second Amendment is because the NRA paid us off. Well, if that's the sort of logic you want to use, why don't you go take a look at how much money the NRA spends and how much money Planned Parenthood spends?"

As a former Congressman -- who stood against the establishment -- and foryou - every single time, I can assure you this is exactly the kind of leader we need in Washington. Someone bold, someone not afraid of the Democrats' backlash -- or the establishments pressure, and someone who's going to stand up and fight when it's most needed.

But Nick's path to Washington leads through Tim Kaine, one of the most powerful Democrats in the country. To defeat him, Nick needs our help -- and he needs it right away.

Right now, when Democrats are trying to exploit recent tragedies to take away our gun rights, it is absolutely critical we have Senators in Washington who we can depend on to defend our right to bear arms.

I haven't seen a candidate as passionate and committed to the Second Amendment as Nick Freitas in a long time.

That's why it is imperative we do everything we can to support his campaign and ensure he defeats Hillary Clinton's running mate, Senator Tim Kaine.
